Hello,

The type of descriptive epidemiology I chose to do for this assignment was person. The study I chose to represent for person aimed to explore the characteristics of over two thousand patients diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver from January 2001 to December 2011. Age, ethnicity, and outcome of the patient were the main focuses for researchers in order to further understand cirrhosis diagnosis and cirrhosis-related mortality. Cirrhosis occurs when the liver is unable to produce healthy liver cells, therefore scar tissue forms instead. Scarring and fibrosis of the liver causes the liver to not work properly leading to many health complications.

From a study of 2,048 patients, the mean age of patients who were diagnosed with cirrhosis was 51 +/- 10 years old. The mode, or most common, cause of cirrhosis was alcoholism (n=921), followed by hepatitis C virus (n=719). The most common ethnic group that had cirrhosis was white/ Caucasian (n=802).

Upon further examination, researchers discovered other correlations among age and ethnic groups. Among the age groups, in-hospital mortality rate was greater in younger patients than older patients. Among the ethnic groups, Hispanic patients were more likely to be younger when diagnosed with cirrhosis, while African American patients were more likely to be diagnosed older.

Exploring people in descriptive epidemiology can uncover many correlations between characteristics of a person and illnesses, such as age/ethnicity and a cirrhosis diagnosis. By acknowledging these associations, researchers can then begin to ask why certain groups are more likely to develop illnesses, whether it is lifestyle, genetics, etc.

Descriptive epidemiology consists of the 5 W’s. These are what, who, where, when, and why. I think the most interesting part of descriptive epidemiology is place. It has always been very interesting to me to see how different health issues occur differently in different places. This could be that it doesn’t happen at all in one country, it happens all over the place, or it only occurs in one place. It is common to see a disease outbreak in a certain place that doesn’t spread anywhere else. Sometimes it happens in one place then spreads everywhere. With everything going on in the world, COVID is a perfect example of place. The article I found shows an animated view of where COVID was spreading over time. It then shows how many cases in that state there have been. I found this pretty interesting to see just how it spread and how quickly day by day it spread. This is an example of place because it is showing exactly what places around the world COVID spread day by day. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/animated-world-map

Assignment: Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting
Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.

To Prepare:

Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.
Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.
The Assignment: (9- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation)

Develop a 9- to 10-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:

Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
Describe the geographic distribution, academic credentials, practice positions, and licensure status of members of the board for your specific region/area.
Who is on the board?
How does one become a member of the board?
Describe at least one federal regulation for healthcare.
How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare (e.g., CMS, OSHA, and EPA)?
Has there been any change to the regulation within the past 5 years? Explain.
Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.
How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?

Assignment: Integrating Quality and Patent Safety with Technology

Technology may assist in supporting healthcare quality and safety. Technology can help reduce costs, advance quality care, improve patient safety, and increase health outcomes. For example, notification technology that quickly delivers critical test results can help ensure that once a diagnosis is made, the results get to the right care team members.

For this Assignment, you will conduct research to find some type of technology and its potential to improve healthcare in some regard. This can be a piece of equipment, device, implant, software, and/or other technology. You will describe how it can prevent patient harm, produce better outcomes, and meet IOM domains. You will also determine if the selected technology provides data that can be used in performance metrics.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Find a resource regarding a new technology or new equipment used in healthcare that improves quality and/or patient safety.
Write a 1- to 2-page paper.

In your paper:

Describe the new piece of equipment, device, implant, software, or other technology discussed in the scholarly resource that you selected.
Explain how the new equipment, device, implant, software, or other technology improves quality and/or patient safety.
Explain which of the IOM domains or National Patient Safety Goals are improved by the equipment, device, implant, software, or other technology discussed in the scholarly resource that you selected.
Identify any data collection the technology performs. If data are collected, describe how the data can be used for quality or safety purposes. If the device does not collect data, propose data that you think your device should collect and how the proposed data could be used for quality or safety purposes.

Walden University Risk Assessment and Duty to Warn Discussion
School
Walden University

Question Description
The psychologist’s assessment of the dangerousness of the client, or risk assessment, is a key factor in duty to warn/protect situations. Rather than being a one-session event, such assessment is a fluid and on-going process. The psychologist must investigate and track symptoms and signs of potential violence from a client’s first indication of intent to harm. This should continue right up through the very last therapy session, even if it seems that a client’s aggression has calmed. This is a delicate process that requires mindfulness on the part of the psychologist. In order to avoid accusations that put a client on the defensive, the psychologist should engage the client in a mutual process of keeping all concerned safe from harm.

Post by Day 4 a description of the specific information that must be gathered in a competent risk assessment. Next, explain how a psychologist should gather and use this information in two different circumstances: 1) in a hypothetical situation in which you are the clinician in charge, and 2) in a hypothetical situation in which you as the clinician are not the decision maker, and you therefore must communicate information, including your risk assessment, to those responsible for making clinical decisions.

QUESTION 2
As the head psychologist, you want to purchase a new intelligence test for your facility. Your supervisor, however, does not think the expense is needed, as you already have other tools to use. In order to convince your supervisor to purchase this test, you will need to explain why this instrument is essential. In your argument, identify the test you would recommend the facility to adopt and describe the psychometric properties (reliability, validity, measurement error, norm groups) of the instrument. Remember that the supervisor knows nothing about tests, so you have to define any terms you use in your argument.

QUESTION 3
Guiding the practice of psychology are both laws and ethical codes. You are obligated to know the laws of both the federal and your state governments, as well as the ethical principles of the profession. Because there is little doubt you will be faced with ethical dilemmas, you will need to develop a process to make ethical decisions. With support from the literature and using examples, describe the process by which you would resolve such dilemmas when using cognitive assessment instruments.

Tabatha is in the 4th month of 2nd grade at Watson Elementary school. She has always been an excellent student. In fact, she completes work in a timely manner and usually receives excellent grades, i.e., 95-100% accuracy. Recently, her teacher has noticed a change in Tabatha’s behavior and performance.

Tabatha has been raising her hand and asking for the teacher’s help multiple times during seat work in each subject. She has been breaking in line to go to the cafeteria, physical education, and recess, but only when the teacher is leading the line. She has also been pushing the new little girl that transferred to the school two weeks ago.

Her teacher has reached out to you, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), for help. Mrs. Lake explains that she has tried everything to help Tabatha. She has let her walk with her to the cafeteria, physical education, and recess whenever Tabatha tries to break in line. She even moved Tabatha’s desk closer to hers so she could readily help Tabatha when she is doing seat work. She has also separated Tabatha from the new little girl by allowing Tabatha to sit next to her on the bench during recess. She doesn’t know what else to do.

Discussion:

Explain the process you would undertake to identify the probable function of Tabatha’s target behavior.
Discuss the antecedents and consequences in this scenario and hypothesize the probable function of the target behavior.
Design a function-based behavior intervention plan (BIP) for Tabatha and discuss how you will determine whether your intervention has been effective (hint: data).
